La Gaîté Lyrique is a stunning, dreamlike two-minute 3D animated short film by Passion Paris Director Yves Geleyn. The film was created to celebrate La Gaîté Lyrique, the 19th century Paris theater abandoned since the 1980s, which will blossom as a center for digital arts and contemporary music this coming December. The animation is a stunning work both in the 3D animation and also the interactive experience, combining elements of Baroque theater and stylised Japanese Kabuki dance.

The film’s opening moments lead to a shimmering cascade, immersing the viewer in magical experiences as flowing shapes of all descriptions are conjured from air and water in magnificent, abstract spectacle, conveying the promise of the new theater, the art, science and sound. In addition, Yves Geleyn expands this magnificent film, creating an interactive experience that allows the viewer to venture inside the cathedral and become immersed in its magical atmosphere, bathing in the breathtaking visuals and wonderful soundscape.

This piece presents a number of colorful illustrations, the stunning animated short film and the additional enthralling interactive journey.
